You Light Me Up!

Hello fellow crafters, I am in the process of making about four trillion holiday cards and tags…well maybe not quite that many, but let me tell you it is A LOT.  So with no further adieu, here is today's holiday card.  I used You Light Me Up set/images by Sunsational Stamps.  I love how "Merry & Bright" these adorable holiday lights are!

I wanted to make another shaker card because they are so dang fun!  This one I watercolored the background with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.  Next I stamped the sentiment on acetate with StazOn.  I sponged Evergreen Bough Distress Ink onto the little frame I die cut, then attached the acetate to the backside of the frame then on the watercolor background I made a pile of shaker elements…snowflakes, sequins and large glitter flakes by WOW.  I added foam tape to the back of the frame and adhered it over the watercolor background.  Then I added CTMH thick twine in Fern, making little loop-de-loops and adhering them down with Glossy Accents.  I wanted it to appear like a wonky sting of lights. I printed out the bulb images then cut them out and adhered them to the frame/string.  I glued all that down to a card base that I embossed with a swirly pattern.

I sure hope you enjoyed todays project.  Please visit http://www.sunsationalstamps.com to find this and so many other adorable holiday stamp sets and digital images.  Hop on over to my blog for more inspiration at www.papercanvascreations.wordpress.com We would love it if you would like us on Facebook and click on the 'Follow Me' button so you don't miss a thing!
